Sanctuary

Alone again, alone in time,
and so i sink into my mind.
I chase my dreams to the unknown,
where the blind eye sees
and the souls are grown.

I walk through a white door
that leads to my heart
its shattered, broken,
and all torn apart.

The past is an evisceration picture book
written in braille,
only those who wish to truly see
could understand its tale.

Inside the guilt of innocence
 the seeds of future life are sewn,
and within the sins of unity
the first die is cast and stone is thrown

I didn't think I'd ever see evisceration used in poetry - well done for that, a very interesting read, lost love can indeed feel like your heart is being torn out. Enjoyed it.
